sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>Two points I want to touch upon and they\u2019re kind of related to each other, first is how do you get a fair value when you want to trade for one of these elite cards, and secondly the older these cards are the more elite they get because of player attrition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s it worth?\u201d \u00a0The question that gets asked and answered daily in every social media venue where discussions of any Topps App take place.\u00a0 Ultimately it\u2019s worth whatever you get get someone else to pay for it, that\u2019s the case in any collectible.\u00a0 There are people who will always pay more for their favorite performers or specific card sets, there just are.\u00a0 Just as there are people who will never overpay for their least favorite performers or sets. \u00a0\u00a0OK then, how much is it worth?<\/p>\n<p>Well, one thing we can do is look at actual sales of cards to get a medium value, i.e. one that is based on a standard of exchange, i.e. cash.\u00a0 You can\u2019t say that two cards from different sets with the same CC absolutely have the same exact value, you just can\u2019t.\u00a0 One might have a woman on it or a signature, or has a great design, while the other is an announcer, or a retired legend (or jobber for that matter) and you can\u2019t give them away because no one wants them.\u00a0 And since you can\u2019t buy individual cards with in game currency from each other or Topps, you have to choose something as a universal exchange medium, so I choose cash.<\/p>\n<p>I generally go by eBay completed sales, taking note of the high and low sale prices, what\u2019s currently for sale, and lately I\u2019ve been taking into consideration private sales from FB groups.\u00a0 From there it\u2019s pretty easy to come up with an aggregate price range for cards.\u00a0But what if you\u2019re not selling the cards, you\u2019re trying to trade for them.\u00a0 Well that\u2019s a dicier prospect.\u00a0 As a card gains in value it becomes more in demand usually.\u00a0 Once you get to the elite level though (as I said earlier about $25) it becomes increasingly hard to get a good 1 for 1 trade for these cards.\u00a0 The main reason is, there aren\u2019t that many $25+ cards in the game so far (both in terms of individual cards and card population), and because the high dollar cards are usually inaccessible to Free-to-play players, they don\u2019t have them.\u00a0 Thus you get a situation where you\u2019re more likely to get a 2 for 1 or 3 for 1, up to 9 for 1 card trade.<\/p>\n<p>This is where it gets dicey.\u00a0 On one side say you have a 50cc hot diva Heritage Silver Signature.\u00a0 Let\u2019s say it\u2019s worth about $30 cash in the secondary market.\u00a0 The other side is making up their offer of let\u2019s say nine $5 cards.\u00a0 If you have the Heritage should you take that offer?\u00a0 Value wise it\u2019s 50% higher right?\u00a0 No brainer?\u00a0 Heck no it\u2019s not.\u00a0 It\u2019s a conundrum that I see happening every day in this game.<\/p>\n<p>My mantra is Quality over Quantity.\u00a0 I\u2019d rather have a $9-10 card than 9x $1 cards.\u00a0 Likewise I\u2019d rather have the 50cc diva sig worth $30 over 9 cards worth $5 apiece.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because of those 9 cards over half of them will just sit in my collection doing nothing.\u00a0 Now if I needed them that\u2019s one thing, but I\u2019m the kind of player who will aggressively go after what I need, and I\u2019m also pretty transparent with my needs.\u00a0 Chances are I don\u2019t need any $5 cards because I\u2019ve already acquired them.\u00a0 Unless it\u2019s a brand new set that I\u2019m actively working to collect.<\/p>\n<p>Besides which it\u2019s far easier to trade an elite card away than it is to acquire one.\u00a0 Posting on the fan feed that you have an elite card for trade will elicit plenty of offers than one can kick and back pick and choose.<\/p>\n<p>The other subject I wanted to tackle is card attrition, which happens when a given copy of an elite card is place out of circulation.\u00a0 This can occur when an older player simply quits playing (or has already quit) or a player gets banned by Topps.\u00a0 For example in one Facebook group it was discussed that one particular player had obtained over half of the Becky Lynch 50CC heritage sigs (I forget which color), and that player had subsequently gotten banned.\u00a0 So now there are only half of the 50cc cards still in circulation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"m_7653336482324468032m_-5838044787577144430yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1503197183433_8320\" dir=\"ltr\"><a

\u201cdead\u201d accounts out there already with great cards just sitting there that cannot be retrieved.\u00a0 I have a similar situation in Star Wars, I traded much of my great cards from the first months of the game to a vault account so I wouldn\u2019t get bombarded with trade offers.\u00a0 Unfortunately that account was on on my WIFE\u2019s iPad, and since we\u2019re getting divorced, I can\u2019t access it anymore, and I didn\u2019t get a chance to transfer them back to my account.\u00a0 I just made myself cry by looking at them just now.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line here is that one card worth $25 or more should not have to be traded for a bunch of $5 cards.\u00a0 Unless you really want those $5 cards.\u00a0 When you have a high value elite card to trade hold out for another one in return.\u00a0 You\u2019ll be happier and better off in the long run.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Live Signature Tickets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Friday Live Signature tickets hit the app, at a whopping 55,000 diamonds per ticket.\u00a0 That\u2019s approximately $250 in cash.\u00a0 For a personalized digital trading card.\u00a0 You read that right.\u00a0 Now in reality $250 in cash will get you a VIP backstage tour meet and greet with an actual wrestler, and you\u2019ll come away with a great experience and autographed memorabilia.\u00a0 Here you\u2019ll get a digital trading card with your user name written by the performer.\u00a0 The signature will be exactly the same as the other 9 cards.<\/p>\n<p>Sure the performers here are AJ Styles, Kevin Owens and Shinsuke Nakamura, but that doesn\u2019t mean they should go for twice the amount as the last batch of live-signature tickets does it?\u00a0 Also in previous offerings there were other elite tier ancillary cards that were available at the same time as the tickets and that has been eliminated as well.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets are still on sale more than 24 hours later.\u00a0 Proving that Topps royally misunderstood the amount that players will pay for these cards.\u00a0 It\u2019s especially troubling to see because in one of the FB groups a member is attempting to trade away a Bayley personalized live signature and is getting told stupid stuff like \u201cit\u2019s personalized, no one else will want it\u201d and \u201cit\u2019s worth way less than you think.\u201d \u00a0It\u2019s essentially a 1\/1 card.\u00a0 There\u2019s only one like it in the game.\u00a0 Sure there are 9 other cards that are very similar.\u00a0 In any case, those feelings from other players make anyone hesitant to even want to spend a car payment on a digital card.\u00a0 Even some of the whales agree and are eschewing the entire thing.\u00a0 One went so far as to say that he has the diamonds saved for a ticket but won\u2019t be buying one because of the price.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"m_7653336482324468032m_-5838044787577144430yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1503197183433_8346\" dir=\"ltr\"><a

put a live signature ticket on ebay yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>One other nitpick, AJ Styles and Kevin Owens?\u00a0 Again?\u00a0 Really?\u00a0 These two have the most signature cards in the game already.\u00a0 We used to keep track, but it got really difficult after AJ hit 40 different sig cards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SummerSlam\/NXT Takeover Brooklyn III<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last year SummerSlam was the first major Pay-Per-View set that was released by Topps (Battleground 2016 had one card).\u00a0 It was the largest set released to date, with 67 base cards over two variations, 8 matchups over 3 variations and 5 dual signatures over 3 variations.\u00a0 This year Topps has upped the ante so-to-speak, with 88 base cards from both shows over FOUR variations, 8 matchups from both shows, a 7 card classic set that was issued a day before the rest of the set, and 5 card signature set over the same four variations.<\/p>\n<p>Topps actually started the SummerSlam collecting season with a two variant Rock\/Brock Lesnar signature card that sold out quite quickly.\u00a0 The Gold variant with only 50cc immediately shot up to prices near $80, I\u2019d definitely call that elite.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"m_7653336482324468032m_-5838044787577144430yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1503197183433_8366\" dir=\"ltr\"><a

best content in the set is of course still behind the paywall, though it\u2019s a diamond oriented one instead of cash. \u00a0\u00a0The highest level of variants, purple, had just 500 cc in base form and sold out in hours.\u00a0 Signatures sold out fairly quickly as well for all but the lowest tier, which were the blue variant.\u00a0 The 250cc Purple variants are already nearing \u201celite\u201d level value, though I don\u2019t think they\u2019ll actually get there.\u00a0 Red sigs were capped at 750cc and orange at 1250cc.\u00a0 The only base available to free players were the blue and red.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A distribution issue led orange base NXT cards to be under-circulated and thus by the day before the show base cards were commanding signatures in trade by players who were priced out of the purple base set but still wanted to complete a high value base set.<\/p>\n<p>Now 48 hours after release I still like the SS set, but I still feel that they could have left it at three variants, and given the player base a bit of a break.\u00a0 There\u2019s no reason four 4 base variants other than Topps greed.\u00a0 The blue base which doesn\u2019t list CC on the back, will be virtually worthless if it isn\u2019t already.\u00a0 Even the final \u201cfour\u201d blue cards (Big Cass, Big E, Enzo and Big Show) which weren\u2019t initially available in packs for some

already.\u00a0 For SummerSlam we got Jinder Mahal\/Shinsuke Nakamura (first Jinder sig), Naomi\/Natalya and Bray Wyatt\/Finn Balor.\u00a0 On the NXT side we get Bobby Roode and Asuka in single sigs, and surprisingly it\u2019s Roodes first signature.\u00a0 For collecting all five sigs of a single variant you will earn a color-coded Quad sig of the Universal Championship Fatal-Four-Way match opponents (Samoa Joe, Braun Strowman, Roman Reigns and Champion Brock Lesnar).\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div

both PPVs, and picking the winners of the matches will earn the player coins on Monday. \u00a0(Note, for those who want to ensure the win I highly suggest hitting up a WWE odds website to see what\u2019s being bet on.\u00a0 The odds are almost never wrong).\u00a0 I\u2019ve also see a beautiful Sasha Banks\/Alexa Bliss dual signature card, but I can\u2019t confirm the provenance of said card, so not sure if it\u2019s even real.\u00a0 During the Topps Live Facebook video on Friday they showed off yet another poster insert of the Fatal-Four-Way match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the live Facebook video, I\u2019ll leave you this week with my impressions on that event.\u00a0 Terrible. \u00a01-star.\u00a0 A waste of time video from the cheerleaders at Topps who really don\u2019t have much of a clue when it comes to the WWE itself, and clearly won\u2019t answer the difficult questions from the audience.\u00a0 They barely acknowledged the people watch the video, and refused to engage in any actual discussion other than them crowing about being at Yankee Stadium, giving away 3 live sig tickets and 2 championship belts.\u00a0 They said this was their thank you to the fans.\u00a0 The give 5 people out of almost 15,000 players a nice prize.\u00a0 Oh and we got a free Focus video card featuring the end of last year\u2019s NXT Takeover when the four horsewomen hugged in the ring.\u00a0 Whoopee.<\/p>\n<p>Somehow, someway, I\u2019m going to get an interview with someone at Topps, and I\u2019m going to ask some hard questions.<\/p>\n<p><span
